Welcome to the Writing Lab

As part of a comprehensive qualification concept, the HSG Writing Lab has developed an integrative program to promote and advance writing skills at the University of St.Gallen. It offers coaching, advice and professional support for students and their individual writing processes at all academic levels.

The Writing Lab works closely with the lecturers and program directors.

For studentsWhether in the course of your studies, in academics, or professional life, writing is an essential part of your everyday life. The Writing Lab supports you in developing your writing skills.

Writing is a process that can be learned and continually developed – and this is where our offer to students comes in: We develop new teaching and support services for writing – regardless of whether or not it focuses on the subjects taught at the university – organize events and workshops on specific writing topics, and offer individualised writing advice.

For lecturers
Academic writing is a complex activity where students can gradually work to develop and build up their skills. However, there is rarely time in those courses that assign a written work as part of their evaluation scheme to truly examine and illuminate the structures of the writing process.

The Writing Lab supports you with teaching materials, workshops on writing issues, and writing coaching for students in your courses.
